Sorry if this is the wrong section or thread but, I got the MSI GP60 LEOPARD-472 for like $798 (after a $200 instant rebate), $698 after mail in rebate at my local electronics store. I don't have a smartphone and it was the last in stock so I just bought it.

The reviews look alright though at least. I can return it for a full refund within two weeks if needed as I did not open it yet.
With the money you get from the mail in rebate I would say the cost is justified, but with the original price I'm not so sure. The only thing lacking in that computer is the graphics card, and even with that you can run games well enough.

I was hoping to get into some ArmA 3 though. I had it since Alpha, but could never run it very well on my current computer.
I got an Asus G46VW with a bit worse specs for a little over how much you paid after the rebate. Mine had: -GTX 660M (Better GPU than yours) -i5 3230M 2.6GHz (Yours is better) -750GB HDD (Your has 250GB more) -8GB memory (same as yours)-14 inch display (yours is 15.6) -No optical drive (yours has one) -1366x768 or 1360x768 (yours has 1920x1080) All in all, I'd say your was a pretty good buy, especially compared to mine. The only downside is that because mine has a lower native resolution, your computer will have about slightly better settings than mine, although AA will impact your computer more negatively.

Which isn't really a bad thing, as he still sees the benefit of 1080p when he's not gaming or in older less intensive games.
A 0.001 GHz Core i7-4702HQ processor and 2MB of VRAM, eh? Unless this is a calculator it wouldn't do you much good :v:
